In This Is Us Season 5, Kevin and Madison navigated their relationship while preparing for the birth of their twins. The romance was relatively new, and the couple didn’t know whether they were together out of obligation or love. Then Kevin left to film a movie in Vancouver, and Madison asked her partner to decide whether he was really all-in.

Finally, Kevin made his decision when Nicholas and Franny were born, and he re-proposed to Madison. 

“Let’s make this official,” Kevin told Madison. “I know we’ve been engaged, but not engaged engaged. We’ve been dancing around the weirdness of it all. But I really want you to be my wife. I want to be a family.”
